“Samsung is constantly looking for ways to enhance the security of its services and protect users’ privacy,” says Du Kim, VP and Head of Web R&D Group, Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “With Samsung Internet 14.0 beta, we want users to enjoy browsing with peace of mind, knowing they’ll have full control and visibility over their data.”

New and improved privacy features

Samsung Internet 14.0 beta helps keep you protected while browsing with enhanced Smart Anti Tracking, which detects when a website is trying to track you and automatically stops them.

Samsung Internet 14.0 beta also introduces a new Security control panel, designed to make it easier for you to monitor and control your privacy settings and view useful daily stats, such as how many pop-ups and trackers have been blocked. This feature will help you make informed decisions about your privacy.

Revamped viewing experience on Galaxy foldable devices

If you’re using a Galaxy foldable device, you’ll be able to enjoy Flex mode^[1], which lets you watch a video on the top half of the screen while the video controls are displayed on the lower half for a more comfortable viewing experience.

With Samsung Internet 14.0, Flex mode will be enabled automatically when playing a video in full screen. You no longer have to go through the Video Assistant to switch it on.

Take multitasking to new heights

Samsung Internet 14.0 beta allows App Pair feature to launch multiple Samsung Internet browsers at once^[2] and view them at the same time in a split-screen format. This means, you can watch a tutorial while reading a recipe, or easily compare prices when shopping online.

Customise your browsing experience with your favourite font

Samsung Internet 14.0 beta enables you to customise your online browsing experience by applying your favourite font^[3], or a font that you find easier to read. Make websites match the same font you use on your phone by entering ‘Labs’ in the Samsung Internet Settings menu.

Other useful features on Samsung Internet 14.0 beta include:

• ‘S Pen to text’ on Galaxy Tab S7 Series: Using your S pen, you can now write directly into Samsung Internet’s search bar, or any text box on a website, and your handwriting will be transformed directly into text^[4].
• Reader Mode: Use the improved Reader Mode to automatically reorganise particularly dense, text-heavy pages into a more digestible and easy-to-read format.
• Translation Extension: Powered by Samsung Research’s translation engine, this browser extension supports 18 languages^[5], allowing you to easily view translations as you browse the web.

Following the beta testing period, Samsung Internet 14.0 will officially launch in April. If you are already a Samsung Internet user, you will receive a notification when the new version becomes available. You can also download the latest version of Samsung Internet browser on the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store.
